"We really enjoyed our week at Bayview."
Steve and Heather, the hosts were in regular contact before our stay and were available during our stay. The accommodation was very clean, modern and had everything we needed. The location to Watergate Bay is perfect and travelling around Cornwall is very easy. Would highly recommend.

"We were very impressed with cottage and had a lovely week."
The cottage is in a very good position for a selection of beaches, some which can be walked to if you don't mind a hill and no path.
The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen well equipped and the equipment for the toddler was excellent, although the travel cot was too wide to go in the 3rd bedroom, so he spent the week with his parents in the double room which is the roomiest.

This is our second stay and we will definitely be back again. The cottage is beautiful and comes very well equipped with everything we could need. It was spotless on arrival and we were given a cream tea and milk which is a lovely touch. Love the secure garden for our dog and gorgeous sea views. Great peaceful location ideal for the beach and exploring the area. Thank you for a lovely stay.

"Would 100% recommend Bayview."
Exceptional cottage which is very well equipped - like a home from home. Excellent communication from the owners prior to our arrival. We stayed with two dogs and the enclosed garden was perfect for them. Only a 5 minute car ride to Watergate Bay. One thing to note is there is only parking for one car, wasn’t a huge issue for us this time of year (December) as the car park is free in Watergate Bay.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review for Bayview.
We do have one off road allocated parking place and there is usually parking spaces on the road into Merbein cottages for a second car.
We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and felt welcome , comfortable and very much “at home “ at Bayview . Thank you again for your 100% recommendation of Bayview , it would be great to welcome you again in the future , best wishes Heather .

"Lovely, well equipped cottage that is in an ideal location for visiting the North Cornwall coast."
The cottage is very clean and the cream tea and milk on arrival is a nice touch.Watergate Bay is a short walk 15mins but it is a typical Cornish narrow road. Heather and Mike are extremely helpful and considerate, thankyou for the use of your property.

"Nice comfortable house, very clean and we were very happy there, thank you."
The track at the back of the property had a bit of a problem with dog poo, my husband cleared three lots up one morning, which wasn't there the previous evening so could have been left by someone walking their dogs maybe early in the morning, impossible to say as we didn't see, fortunately no more appeared. A sign at the start of the track might be a good idea, it is annoying, I have both horses and dogs and appreciate no-one likes clearing up after someone else's animals.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send us feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you were happy and comfortable at Bayview.
We are so sorry that you found someone had left dog poo along the track , thank you so much for clearing it up. Unfortunately as this is a public footpath we are unable to put up a sign .
As you say thankfully this appears to have been a one off experience and didn’t occur again during your stay .
Thanks again , Heather

"Bayview is a fabulous self-catering holiday home, ideally located with stunning “bay views”!"
It’s very comfortable and well-equipped and situated in a quiet location in easy walking distance of Watergate Bay (12 minutes!) and a 5 minute drive to Mawgan Porth. The owners, Steve and Heather, couldn’t be more helpful. From the useful welcome guide and information, to the super quick responses to messages - even arranging for a replacement cafetière to be delivered during our stay when the one in the kitchen was found to be broken! There was also a cream tea waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived :) This was our 2nd time staying at Bayview and we have already booked our 3rd trip :) Thanks very much Heather and Steve! Xx

"Its not often that you come across a real gem, but our stay at Bayview was just that, a true home from home stay."
There is everything you would need and more, even a mega dot to dot for them less than sunny days. The views from the front bedroom windows across Watergate Bay with Newquay in the distance are amazing, even better as the sun sets on the horizon in the evening. The weather was mixed being there in late March, but the home was always warm and cosy on our return due to the app controlled electric heating. As you may have guessed from this review we had a great stay at Bayview and will look to return again.

We really did have a fantastic stay and we really hope we can go back before too long.

"Brilliant holiday home!"
We could not have asked for somewhere better!!!!
We absolutely loved the location… 2 min drive to watergate bay beach, recommend Wax for an easy family meal. Emily Scott food was lovely and view fantastic (but service less than ideal for the standard of restaurant), we didn’t try the Beach Hut as it was fully booked but I take that as a good sign as was Catch Seafood in the village of Mawgan Porth.
The holiday home had sea views and we watched the sun gone down most evenings.
Everything had been thought of in this house, super dog friendly with extra blankets to protect the comfy sofas from the dogs, a stair gate to keep dogs downstairs etc.
Sofas and Beds super comfy, kitchen and bathrooms very modern and clean. Garden was small but perfect for our needs. Wi-Fi, tv and living space perfect for a family of 4!
Some reviews talk about the parking… yes it’s a little tight but we managed to park an XC90 everyday with no issue! There is plenty of swing space and as the parking area is off the main road you can easily take your time if you are worried!
Thanks so much Heather for a great week!
